Being excited to see a film is part of the joy of the cinema experience. Farewell to someone who contributed to so much of that, especially for those of us growing up in the 80s.

Heartbroken that, per his social media accounts, Drew Struzan has left us. His poster and album art was quite simply shorthand for imagination for countless young people.

E.T. Adventure poster, 1990. I still have one of these hanging in my childhood bedroom.

Star Wars Special edition triptych, 1997. I remember seeing all of these in the paper as each film was re-released and just felt a burst of energy those mornings.

Flag envy. I mean, there's no contest in there?

Oh tosh, you're a screenwriter which is..... 🤯🤯🤯. I'm writing a cosy crime book at the moment which requires FAR more dialogue than I'm used to and BOY is it hard. Where is my emotional support description 😀

She writes, too, making her unfairly talented.

Amelia Bullmore is so good at playing characters who just slightly unnerve and you can't work out why. Her Yvonne is a brilliantly measured performance.

This is going to be amazing! Piu crafted such an incredibly rich story in The Secret of the Snakestone and I can't wait for the next adventure.

I absolutely flipping LOVE the grafitti art installation at @cburycathedral.bsky.social. Big questions asked in big ways to challenge us and our ideas about any 'right' ways to communicate with a God who must be bigger than all our ideas of him.

Disappointing to see the criticisms.
